ADDIE Model, the Instructional Design model from the ’70s, is still the MVP in instructional design.
Despite being a linear model, it’s still the go-to in instructional design.
Some argue that it’s not a model, but a process guideline. However, despite such opinions and some drawbacks, it’s still one of the most popular models or processes to do Instructional Design.
Why? Because it works.
- Simplicity: ADDIE is the trusty old hammer in our toolkit.
It’s straightforward and reliable, and everyone from novices to experts knows how to swing it. - Flexibility: Think ADDIE is too rigid? Think again.
It’s more like a circle now, allowing us to loop back, reflect, and refine at any stage. - Solid Foundation: ADDIE isn’t just old school; it’s the foundation that modern methodologies are built upon.
It’s the tried and tested bedrock that we all rely on. - Adaptability: ADDIE has been adapted to implement rapid prototyping and agile methods within each phase.
This has kept ADDIE relevant for modern environments. - Versatility: Classroom or virtual, face-to-face or online, ADDIE’s best practices can be used to develop most training for most formats.
So there you have it – ADDIE isn’t just surviving; it’s evolving and thus thriving despite changes in the environments in which training is designed and developed. It’s adaptable, it’s reliable, and most importantly, it delivers results time and time again.
